Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B, interpreted Whitney Houston's song Greatest love of all and was selected to be one of five members of the Spice Girls.
At the same audition, Victoria Adams and Melanie Chisholm also managed to impress the jury.
Manager Chris Hebert tells how during the same period he had contact with and invited Geri Halliwell, but that she repeatedly came up with an apology and rescinded.
Geris tactics to be selected
In the documentary series Spice Girls - When girl power changed the world, Geri herself says in a video from 1994 that she was worried that her singing technique was not good enough.
She had a different tactic to move forward in the selection process.
- I went to an audition where we were only twelve and I was a little gaping.
18-year-old Emma Bunton became the last member to be selected and join the group.
She was discovered through one of London's theater schools.
